Yes, it's a couple of days after Monday night's show, but I was a bit lost for words for a bit there. Here's a quick run down of the latest from the show. The gang all went to New York to start their global love affair.
One on one date #1 - Casey. The guy sounds like Kermit the Frog, but apart from lack of personality, has the set up to be a stalker. The kind that calls and calls to tell you how much they love you and why can't the person see that, lurks in the shadows and general other unstable vibes. He would be perfect for Michelle from last season of The Bachelor. All the guy ever says is how much he wants to guard and protect Ali's heart and how he wants her to do the same. When he's not spewing out that bologne, he makes up super cheezy songs on the spot. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad if he could actually carry a tune, but no. It's just embarrassing.
Group date: -- Roberto, Frank, Jonathan, Kirk, Ty, and a couple of other faces. It seems that the date with Casey made Ali a bit sick because she was under the weather for the day. Roberto took the spotlight. Frank had a hard time as did a couple of the other guys watching them. It is a hard spot to be in really. Then again, that's the trick about the show: watching someone you want to be with dating other people and trying to keep your cool. Ouch. By the end of the night, Ali was in rough shape and Kirk took her back to her suite and tucked her in. Very sweet.
One on one date #2 -- Chris L. Ali was really under the weather. So, instead of cancelling the date, she invited Chris to come over to her suite to hang out. He brought her soup and flowers. Talk about earning a rose. After the soup and chat, she decided she had enough energy to take him to the other parts of the date -- private club setting followed by music on the rooftop.
While Chris and Ali were out on their date, freak boy Casey decided to go get himself a tattoo on his wrist of a shield over a heart. LAME!! He decided to do it to show Ali he was being genuine. However, Casey didn't get to show her the tattoo before the rose ceremony. So that temporarily saved him some further embarrassment and she kept him around for another round. I suppose it could be worse, he could have tattooed her name on his wrist.
Next week, they're off in Iceland. It ought to be interesting.

The Bachelorette -- Ali -- Ep. 3
Another interesting night of guys trying to get Ali to pick them over the next dude. Definitely an interesting scenario when the guys who are trying to get her attention also have to live in the same house and see how the other guys are getting along or not getting on.
Last night had two one one dates and one group date.
First one on one date: Roberto and the high wire act. First, they went up in a helicopter and did a bit of a skyline tour, followed by landing on the roof of a 20 storey building in Los Angeles. Ali pointed out to Roberto that if they wanted to have dinner, they would have to cross between buildings on a high wire. At least they were cabled in with safety chains and all. I can't imagine the adrenaline one would need to get pumped up to make it across that stretch. Obviously a set up for potential romantic moments and Roberto followed through. Halfway across, Roberto leaned in to give her a smooch. Quite a long smooch at that too. Somehow it seemed to calm Ali down and they made it across without any problem. They also appeared to have a good time together. Roberto definitely remains on the hot list. Some guys are physically attractive and they know it and some almost seem to count on it. Roberto strikes me as a decent guy who happens to be hot, which makes him that much hotter, actually.
The Group date. It was a music video shoot for a Bare Naked Ladies song, You Run Away. However, the music company must've decided to go another route, because that's not the video that was widely released for the song. Perhaps just a limited collection for those guys. Anyway, on the set, Ali and the guys had roles to portray. Poor Frank got slapped multiple times as part of the video. The director didn't seem to think he was getting slapped hard enough. Ouch. As if that wasn't hard enough, he was having a rough time dealing with seeing all the other guys on the set have kissing parts for the shoot. Speaking of guys who were having a rough time on set, Jonathan, the weather guy appeared to be having a bit of stage and performance anxiety. He got all psyched out about having to kiss Ali and then almost couldn't do it when the guys started to razz him about messing up the scene. He actually started to shed a few tears. Part of me felt for him, but at the same time I thought: oh dude, that's not going to keep her if you're going to cry whenever you think about performing with her. However that performance may be. Kirk, on the other hand, didn't cry when he had the bedroom scene with Ali. No sir. He got right in the mood and they were rolling around having a good ol' time. To prove that it wasn't just a screen kiss, later in the evening, while in the hot tub, they got back to practicing the lip locking motion. Needless to say, he got the on the spot rose and a secure spot for next week.
As far as the second one on one date went, well, Justin the entertainer guy hobbled his way up to Ali's place uninvited and took some of the time away from the guy who was supposed to go on the second one on one date, Hunter. Poor guy. Not that he really had a chance, but it just added insult to injury. I mean Justin definitely has a smarminess to his character. He's one of those guys that relies on being attractive and thinks that everyone will believe the B.S. that comes out of his mouth. When he gets caught in the B.S., he tries to spin it around on other people. Typical B.S.'r. For the time being Ali might be eating it up -- or some of it anyway -- but I don't believe he'll be there in the end. At least, one can hope she has better taste than that. Hunter on the other hand didn't have a chance at all. Even with him trying to call her darling and babe during the date, which only lasted a couple of hours as opposed to the whole day. Mind you, the date probably wouldn't have lasted the whole day anyway. The only chemistry happening on that date was digesting hot dogs and hamburgers. At least Ali was fairly gracious in telling him that it wasn't going to work between them. With that, Hunter went home before the rose ceremony.
Notable guys still around:
Frank
Roberto
Ty
Chris L.
Guys that I suspect will stick around for a bit, but won't last much longer:
Casey (Kermit)
Craig -- lawyer guy
Justin
There are some other guys, but maybe it's the editing thing or whatever, their names evade me. I suspect they won't be around much longer either.
Until next time.

The Bachelorette -- Ali -- Ep. 1 & 2
Last week, the Bachelorette with Ali (from last season of the Bachelor) kicked off this season. Ali had the nervous case of giggles for the first episode as loads of guys were dropped off at the house one limousine at a time. Out of 25, she had to select 17 hopefuls. It's hard to weed out all the bad seeds in one go. Not to mention, the producers probably hint at Ali to keep some of the peculiar guys around for some drama. It's interesting as I usually find that if some the guys that don't make it past the first night, you don't really see any of their confessional moments except for when they're leaving.
It's a bit hard to comment on all these guys right off the bat too. They may seem a bit nutty and end up normal, and sometimes the crazy ones need more time to brew before they show what a nut job they really are.
Ali's first solo date was with Frank -- a screenwriter hopeful, who runs a retail shop. I suspect he'll stick around for a while as the first date went really well for both. It'll be interesting to see where this goes. They gave Ali this old stylish jalopy to drive around in for the day. Except that, within the first 1/2hr to an hour of heading to their destination, the car broke down on the side of the highway. I'm tempted to think that the producers gave her a problem car on purpose -- just to see how they would both handle it. It turned out, they handled it pretty well and the date continued and blossomed on from there. Although Ali was quite excited and pleased with the first date with Frank, Frank was more than elated and I suspect something interesting may happen. Whether that "interesting" thing is that something develops between the two or he gets super jealous and says/does something stupid remains to be seen. But I sense an interesting factor just the same.
As far as the group date went, Oi! The group of guys were taken to a beach house in Malibu, then were instructed and assigned various bathing garments. Some of those garments definitely surpassed the "interesting" label. Some of them were itty bitty pieces and some looked like bad Speedos from the 70's and 80's. Mind you, if you've been to Cuba, they'd have fit right in with all the German men -- young and old.
The highlights of the episode generally included some male drama between the weatherman, Jonathan, and an angry douche bag named Craig. Although Craig didn't only frustrate Jonathan, the weatherman was the only one who actually told him straight up (on camera anyway) that he couldn't stand to be around him. It's too bad that the douche bag had a nice head of hair though. However, he was one angry dude. I suspect that he was over compensating for his inability to have any sense of a real conversation with Ali. He couldn't look her in the eye when he spoke to her, he was all guarded, and he couldn't even bring himself to ask about what she likes or anything. At least his angry douche bag self wasn't going to stick around for more than two episodes -- he was sent packing at the end of the rose ceremony.
Early noticeable guys (possible faves):
* Frank
